TN GOP just expelled Rep Justin Jones for peacefully demanding gun reform.
Jones reminded that the GOP refused to expel Republicans who molested children, abused women, are under federal investigation, & urinated in the chamber. GOP expelled him anyway.
The danger is beyond MAGA expelling Democrats for the "crime" of demanding accountability for gun violence. It's that if this injustice goes unchecked, MAGAs nationwide will do the exact same. This is how fascism & single party rule takes hold.
Heart beating with excitement. Tomorrow I'll be filming a music video I've been preparing to for months. Everything's booked, everyone's ready. It's funny how I feel 'small' when I need to be seen as 'big', but I never let my social anxiety get the best of me. I get to create with others rarely but when I do, it makes all of my struggles seem so... Redundant.

We designed this patch around my song Abnormal about a ladybug protecting a small abnormal flower from human greed and climate change.
The song isn't out yet but the patches are available on Etsy:)

Hold it right there ... don't move.
So, let's just pretend that this female ruby-throated hummingbird stopped to pose for me.
I wanted a close up of the female with wings forward so that you can get a good look at emerald plumage. I think that the way they seem to glow in the sunlight is cool. They're pretty small so it's hard to get a good close up.

p.s. Please don't harass artists who have hashtag lists on the end of their posts. Many are low income people dependent on selling art, and need to use multiple variant tags simply to be seen at all.
It isn't spamming, it's just the consequence of an exact-tag-only search system.
This isn't Twitter, there is no general text search by which they might be otherwise discovered.
Work is just there so you can afford to survive and spend time with friends or on hobbies.
I got a new phone. One of the features is a camera that can zoom in and take high resolution photos only 3cm away from the subject. This has made it much easier to see how filthy my keyboard is.

Got new foster kittens today, Jadzia, Julian, and Miles. Pictures taken by my son.
@ScottSoCal @bkm I love that movie, I swear, Auntie Mame is my spirit animal! This is probably one of my favorite lines.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
